Health, safety and risk

Combining scientific, design and technical expertise with global reach and experience, we deliver pragmatic and sustainable solutions that are protective of human health and safety.

Full circle solutions to enable zero harm

The everyday activities that underpin our industrialised and urbanised world, increasingly impact both human health and safety as well as the natural world around us. From how and where we live and work, to the air we breathe and the water we drink.

As a company, we helped define and today continue to lead in the fields of human health, safety and risk assessment, and industrial hygiene. Our experts in risk assessment, process safety, and risk management work with clients to advance their health and safety culture including the concepts of zero harm. We work across disciplines such as climate change, air quality, circular economy, waste reduction and construction management to provide unique, holistic solutions to clients.
